Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu stated that no matter if China was planning to attack Taiwan or not, the people must be ready to defend themselves at any time.

美國總統拜登與中國國家主席習近平18日進行了1小時50分鐘的視訊通話。拜登傳達的核心意思是，中方若向侵略烏克蘭的俄羅斯提供「物質支持」（material support），將為此付出嚴重代價。白宮也暗示必要時不排除搬出「二級制裁」。但針對美方連日來的喊話，習近平依然未表明中方對俄態度，繼續保持模稜兩可，令美中對話沒能彌合分歧。
March 20:
President Joe Biden of the United States and Chinese President Xi Jinping had a video call for one hour and 50 minutes on March 18. Biden’s core message is that if China provides “material support” to Russia, which is invading Ukraine, Beijing will pay a serious price for it. The White House also hinted that it would not rule out applying “secondary sanctions” if necessary. However, in response to American verbal calls over the past few days, Xi still did not express China’s attitude towards Russia, and continued to maintain ambiguity, which made the U.S.-China dialogue fail to bridge differences.
